About The Algonquins of Barriere Lake:

The Algonquins of Barriere Lake have been fighting for years to ensure Canada and Quebec honour the Trilateral Agreement, a landmark resource co-management agreement signed in 1991. The governments are determined to quash the agreement and are now trying to seize sensitive community documents supporting the fight for the Trilateral Agreement. These documents include research on traditional land use & occupancy, wildlife habitat studies, and land claims research.

Barriere Lake is being forced to take costly legal action to protect themselves against the actions of the Canadian government. They cannot succeed without your support!

Monthly legal costs that the Algonquins of Barriere Lake must incur will rise into the tens of thousands of dollars by the end of the year, amounting to approximately $30,000 by December 2011.

Brad was born in Whitehorse, Yukon and raised in Vancouver and has had a lifetime of exposure to, and experience with, Northwest Coast Aboriginal art. His artwork strives to bring positive energy into the world and pass on the legends and beliefs of his Tlingit and Vuntut Gwitch’in ancestors. On various occasions, he has lectured at the University of Ottawa on present day Tlingit culture and art. In addition, his artworks can be found in collections worldwide.
